Strengths

- “Leaders expect pupils to achieve well.”
- “The curriculum is well thought through and supports the school’s aim of ‘learning together for life’.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes adults intervene too quickly when pupils are reading and on occasions blend for them.”
- “This means that some pupils have less time to practise their phonics skills and their progress is slowed.”
